Текст песни Mississippi (The Secret Sisters) с переводом

All my life, I ain’t ever been a lucky man

Saw the back of my daddy’s hand

Lost your mama to the promised land

In my time, I ain’t ever had a thing that’s mine

'Til they handed me a baby fine

My little girl

There are only two things I know

I get ugly when the whiskey flows

Wanted you to know I love you so

And I would kill before I let you go

Taking off for Mississippi

Wearing someone else’s name

Brought you in this world and I

Can take you from it just the same

If you leave for Mississippi

I will beat you at your game

Brought you in this world and I

Can take you from it just the same

My dear one

Heard you’re whispering your plans to run

Off to marry some rich man’s son

I bet he’s never met a poor man’s gun

In the darkness you could not see

The drunken devil instructing me

Two bullets in a crimson sea

Now I’m certain that you’ll never be

Taking off for Mississippi

Wearing someone else’s name

Brought you in this world and I

Can take you from it just the same

If you leave for Mississippi

I will beat you at your game

Brought you in this world and I

Can take you from it just the same

Grief and sin

When the righteousness of you sets in

And the blood in my veins begins to ramble on

Now I know we can stand and judge the execution man

But we all have to make a trembling stand before the sun

Maple tree

Can your branches carry me?

Before the war, before the wine

Before I stole what wasn’t mine

Can you bring my baby back to me?
